Fall in session


1) I haven’t had a legit vacation in a long time. I guess the last one that lasted a reasonable amount of time was when I went back to Chicago for Matt’s wedding. I’m now 9 days away from my first trip to Destin, FL and it can’t come fast enough. My work days have become far more intense going from 2-3 appointments per day to 5-6 per day. One of our main processors has been out for the last month and due to family issues, we don’t know when she’s going to be back. Plus we’re training a new hire and she’s a long way from being ready to have appointments with students. So right now the load of meeting with people is on me. And I find that by the end of each week, my eyes are getting heavier and my patience is getting shorter, especially with people asking where their money is and I can’t answer the question, since that’s not my cross to bear. So a break is sorely needed and well earned.

2) So I’m taking Friday off from both my jobs. Well Friday was scheduled for my day job. Here’s what I have planned: Top Golf, Dave’s BBQ, Aquarium, Reaver Beach Brewery, Chris Stapleton concert

3) I’m going heavy on the pumpkin. Pumpkin waffles from Trader Joes, making pumpkin pecan pancakes this weekend. But no pumpkin spice lattes. I’m not saying I would never try one, but I’m not about to spend my own money on a cup of coffee for myself.

4) I think I need to listen to some more Jon Pardi music

5) Trying a new herb garden. No mint, no basil this time, since those are more for the summer and then tend to sprout up like weeds and overwhelm everything else in the garden. This time, it’s oregano, rosemary, parsley, sage, cilantro, and chives. Let’s see how these grow.
